Yeon Ho-jeong and his party came to the imperial palace faster than they had gone, and immediately met Yang Cheon.
“I only heard about it on the way here. “What is the current situation?”
“It’s incredibly busy.”
Yang Cheon’s face was as stiff as possible.
“Gansu is moving around the Dongpa faction, and Shaanxi is advancing around Huashan and Jongnan.”
“Corsair… … .”
“The guys coming down are looting and killing civilians. In particular, the dampness is severe. “I don’t know how they came to be, but they are destroying it at the county level, and the speed is not slowing down at all.”
Murder arose in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
However, his voice was calm.
“What about Shaanxi?”
“There are tens of thousands of cavalry. They are all heavily armed cavalry, and although they are not as fast as Gansu, they are quite fast. “It seems like there is a separate supply unit, but it is not visible yet.”
In war, supplies are as important as actual troops.
No, perhaps it can be seen as more important. No matter how good a soldier is, he cannot fight without eating. The military fights with physical strength, not mental strength.
However, if it is an army made up of martial people, the story is a little different.
Due to the mysterious power called Naegong, martial people can survive for several days even if they eat the same amount as other ordinary people. If you become a transcendent expert, you can show off your skills with just one rice ball for three or four days.
In other words, the amount of supply is much smaller than that of a regular army.
At that level, the magic bandits who have learned martial arts can go on a rampage, moving from village to village on their own without any supplies. Because I can show off my skills even with little food.
There is no need to talk about the troops dispatched by the three religions.
Yeonhojeong also paid maximum attention to supply during the time of Emperor Heukam, but compared to the general army, the amount was less than half of the same number of troops. When operating a small number of elite units, there were many cases where the soldiers simply packed personally improved combat rations and went on operations for over a month before returning.
However, when the number reaches 10,000, supply troops are definitely needed.
Food for horses is especially important if you are a cavalryman.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“There will be supply units, but they will be far fewer than we expect.”
“Why do you think that? Even though they are bastards, the words… … .”
“Horses in the North are different from those in the Central Plains. The horses they use are not very large, but it is common for them to run a thousand miles while eating wild grass in the meadows. “The horses that couldn’t survive even that much disappeared immediately.”
“her!”
Yangcheon had also seen horses in the northern grasslands.
However, I was only impressed by the strong muscles and exciting gallops, but I did not know the ecology of those horses.
“How does it compare to the Yongah Iron Team?”
“As you know, the horses of the Iron Team are all famous horses, but comparisons with them are ambiguous. In terms of strength, the Iron Team will be superior, and in terms of stamina, they will be ahead. But if you think about the horse’s food, it has no choice but to be pushed to the other side.”
Yang Cheon also wandered around the world and created the Yongah Iron Foundation based on his experience. Among the horses he knew, there was no lineage as excellent as that of the Iron Team.
But upon hearing it, the horses in the plains seemed different from here.
“They have been capturing horses from the prairie with good pedigree for a long time and improving them in their own way. The midfield horses also have their own characteristics, but each has different strengths and weaknesses. “It should not be seen as the same.”
“Hmm.”
Absolute comparisons are meaningless, but the important thing is that they should not be viewed from the perspective of the midfielder.
Moreover, the three schools had various techniques that the central government rejected. What if horsemen were trained using that magic or strange medicine?
“For now, we just need to look at the medical history.”
“You are right. In the case of Gansu, I believe one of the Sichuan Three Rivers will come to help.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“If it moves, there is a high probability that the head of the family will move it himself.”
“Why do you think so?”
“It’s because I know the importance of the first battle. Currently, there is no Mugeuksu in Gansu. On the other hand, in Sacheon, there are only two people at Tangmun. However, since we can’t already bring out the name of the King of Darkness, the head of the family will personally lead the unit and go to Gansu.”
Even in urgent moments, Yeon Ho-jeong’s insight shined.
Yang Chen nodded.
“I guess you’re right. Moreover, since I have experience fighting a demon, there is a high probability that the head of the party will move.”
“The important thing is Shaanxi.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“There is no water in Shaanxi.”
Of course, just because there is no martial arts doesn’t mean there can’t be a fight.
However, the problem was that it was not immediately known whether the 10,000 horsemen were mixed with the Mugeuksu or not.
Even if you are a non-geuksu, your life is in danger if you encounter a unit specialized in anti-admiral warfare.
To put it another way, it means that the power of the Mugeuksu is so great that a unit specialized in large-scale warfare is needed.
There is no such thing as a unit created with the assumption of absolute masters in Shaanxi Wulin. Of course, Hwasan and Jongnam’s fighting methods may be mysterious and specialized in high-class warfare, but that does not mean we can ignore the power of Mugeuksu.
‘The good news is that he is a cavalryman.’
Hwasan and Jong-nam’s medical examination begins with a loss of momentum.
No matter how well the owner consoles the horse, it will be difficult to make an effective cavalry charge unless the horse has learned internal skills.
‘That’s why we need Mugeuksu even more.’
If there is a non-geuksu on the enemy side, it is necessary to have a master to counter it, and if there is no non-geuksu on the enemy side, it is even more necessary because you have to overwhelm the first battle.
‘We must assume that there is one Mugeuksu for each of the troops attacking from the three places of Liaoning, Shaanxi, and Gansu.’
At that time, Yeonwi spoke.
“An urgent report has arrived. “Half of the Murim League troops moving north decided to head to Shaanseo.”
“yes?”
“I heard that among half of the troops, there is a senior Geomje.”
Yeon Ho-jeong breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s a good thing.”
“First of all, I have created a picture to some extent. The only one left is Liaoning. What about there?”
Yeon Ho-jeong explained the reconnaissance in detail.
Peng Wugang’s eyes deepened.
“I will go to my family.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on him.
“The Peng family has been renowned as the loser of Hebei for generations. I know the Hebei area better than anyone else. Just in case, I will bring all my troops and camp between Hebei and Liaoning.”
Yang Chen nodded.
“How long will it take?”
“It won’t take more than three days. Moreover, we are not the only ones in Hebei. “I will contact each clan and tell half of them to block the east and half to block the northern area of the imperial palace.”
“Good decision. “Please do so.”
“then.”
Peng Wugang immediately left the conference room and unfolded the Divine Law.
Yeonwi sighed.
“This is what it ended up being. “The identity of that anxiety.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“Now that this has happened, let’s just think about the future. Okay, first of all, Gansu and Shaanxi have a rough assortment. “What’s left is Liaoning.”
He looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“We are ready at any time.”
“You mean from before?”
“What can’t be done?”
It was then.
“I will take charge of Liaoning.”
Everyone looked at him in surprise at Yeonwi’s words.
Yeonho was also surprised.
“father.”
“Everyone else can do it, but you can’t.”
Yeonwi’s voice was firm.
“Now that the war has begun, the relationship between priests and father and son is meaningless. “The most important thing is to place capable people where they are needed.”
“… … ?!”
“Along with Taesang Yang, you are the most practical tactician in Tang Jin Wulin. I don’t think I’ll need your ax anywhere, but not now. “Your job now is to rule over the entire nation together with the Imperial Palace, the Murim Alliance, and the Black Emperor, and not the role of a military commander.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
Yang Chen nodded.
“I also agree with Yeongaju. Furthermore, you are a symbolic figure in the transfer of black and white, called black and white untitled. “If you start from the beginning, the picture will not be good.”
It may sound a bit frivolous, but if you think about it deeply, Yang Chen was right.
Like it or not, Yeon Ho-jeong had become a hero of the martial arts world. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if such a hero rushed out as soon as the war started.
But that only has a temporary effect on morale. We don’t know how long this war will last. Only when Yeonhojeong takes center stage will there be fewer people who act rashly.
And at the critical moment, you have to step up and fight. That was the weight of the current name Yeonhojeong.
“All right. “Then let’s do it.”
The advantage of Yeonhojeong was that he was quick to accept even if his opinion was wrong.
“Well then, tell me. “What should I do?”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was contemplating while looking at the map placed in the conference room, asked Yang Cheon.
“Can I take the lead?”
Yang Cheon shouted to everyone gathered in the conference hall.
“From now on, I will appoint the Lord of the Black Emperor as a temporary soldier of the imperial palace.”
Even though it was a gathering of civil, military and civil servants, they did not show any signs of discomfort.
This was not only because Taegong clearly controlled them, but also because they knew how important this moment was. Moreover, if Yang Cheon, the person responsible for this incident, established the Lord of the Black Emperor as a military force, they had no cause or reason to oppose it.
Taegong said.
“Our White House will support you. “I will take care of various administrative tasks, so the generals will take the lead in this war.”
Administration is necessary even in war. Taegong’s words were no different from what he meant: If you decide, we will follow suit.
Yang Cheon nodded and looked at Yeon Ho Jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“From now on, the strong martial arts people in charge of the unit will be referred to as martial leaders.”
“… … .”
“My father has to go to Liaoning, so he is the head of the northeast martial forest.”
“i get it.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was trying to continue speaking quickly, frowned for a moment.
Yeon Ho-jeong is deep in thought, glaring at the map.
After looking at the map for a while, he drew lines all over the map with his index finger.
“Northeast… … Northwest… … Northern… … Gwanghyeol and Saeum reacted immediately without being embarrassed by the sudden movement of the protruding stone… … .”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“It’s strange.”
What is strange?
Under everyone’s questioning eyes, Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“We will postpone the deployment of the military leader of Yeonwi for a while.”
Yang Chen asked.
“because?”
“If the Shinhwa Church had stationed troops without the knowledge of the Pagan religion, wouldn’t it have been unsettling?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m sure they know it well, but could they be sure that the cult would react immediately and send an army?”
“… … !”
“From the point of view of the Pagan Church, the movement of the Xinhua Church’s troops was truly an unexpected act. We hurriedly sent troops to meet the front lines, but this was only evidence of the superior military capabilities of Paganism and had no meaning whatsoever.”
“then… … ?”
“But that doesn’t mean that only idiots gather in the Shinhwa Church. “It is said that Xiao Jiaozhu did this, but what would he have done if Li Qiao did not react?”
Yeonwi’s eyes widened.
“Seongdonggyeokseo?”
“This is a tactic that has already been successful once, but it is not a move we are prepared for. “This wasn’t something I was aiming for; it was just a gamble from the beginning.”
Yeon Ho-jeong slammed down the map.
“I will send Binggungju, Muk Xinjiang, and Kang Xinjiang to the northeast martial leader. The Yanwi Wulin leader prepares for the northern surprise attack by the Murim League troops and the imperial palace.”
